Neutral Grip
Place your hands midway between the bottom and top of the
handlebars. Use a firm grip, but try to avoid “white knuckles.”
This grip will help you attain equal work for both the upper
and lower body.
Low Grip
Place your hands at the bottom of the handlebars. Be sure to
keep your hands on the black handle grip, not on the front
crossbar. This grip will decrease the work in your upper body.
Front Bar Grip
Place your hands on the front crossbar, just to the inside of the
handlebars. Use a firm grip without “white knuckles”. Be sure
to keep your wrists straight and avoid leaning hard on the
arms or bending at your wrists. This grip may be used during
any “Basic Glide” exercise. Use this grip when learning to glide,
or during your warm-up and cool-down.
High Grip
Place your hands at the top of the handlebars. Use a firm grip,
but try to avoid “white knuckles.” This grip will increase the
work in your upper body.
HAND POSITIONS:
The position of your hands on the handle grips will allow you to vary the intensity of
your workouts and change the emphasis from lower body to upper body. There are
five positions that are used throughout your workout.
FOOT PLACEMENT:
You will notice that your feet shift a little bit when using your unit. It is recommended
that beginners keep their toes against the toe plate until they feel comfortable with
their balance.
